She is amazing as a teacher, shes gorgeous, im completely owned by her. I had winston and the guy sucked, I hated psych but now I like it, and I like what I see when I go to class.

she is the best professor I have ever had! she has got all the potential to become the best professor nationally as well as internationally. wishing her all the best from the bottom of my heart!

Honestly if you think her class is hard you shouldnt be in university! She is soo helpful and nice, online notes, easy exams! Very friendly and personable. Excellent proff relates material to "real life".

great lectures, explains well, marks fairly, overall great!

Wow I cannot believe anyone has anything bad to say. Interesting/informative lectures, what more could you want? If you go to class and pay attention you will do well on the exams. And making comments on her clothes? She is VERY well-dressed and u

Great proff, many people on this site are bitter in life because they dont know how to show up for class, or follow simple instructions. Her lectures are structured, and if you just um.... READ THE BOOK and STOP TALKING in class, you will do fine.. jeesh!

shes a great professor, and shes soo easy, oh god i cant believe how people here think shes hard, her class IS BASIC, you woudl be stupid not to know what she was talking about, becuase its common sense!

She is one of the best profs I have ever had. She makes an effort to make her lectures interesting and her exams are totally fair. She reallyc cares about her students. And on top of all that, she's beautiful.

Unfairly targeted by unhappy students - as a BSc major sitting in a psyc class, I had absolutely no problems with her accent, her material, or her tests. Tests were always fair, she took time to address 'issues', and I came out of the course with an A. Always very helpful, honest.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT RACISM STILL EXISTS IN CANADA. YEAH, SHE WASN'T BORN HERE AND DOESN'T HAVE A CAKER ACCENT: LIKE MORE THAN HALF OF CANADIANS TODAY, GET USED TO IT. SHE IS SO SMART AND SO HELPFUL. IF ALL PROFS WERE LIKE HER, THERE WOULD BE NO BAD REVIEWS ON THIS SITE. CHEERS, SABA!

Great prof, class is common sense, she knows her stuff, tells you exacly what is going to be on the exams. Good examples. Great class to raise your average, but still interesting.

her lectures were usually quite interesting and very well organized. she explained concepts using examples and her midterm reviews were very helpful. overall, a great prof.

If you think she's not a good prof or that she's hard...you're dumb. Go to college...I don't know how you got into university. GREAT prof and so easy.

First, a class average of 70% is VERY good for a big university class. Class averages of 85% and 90% are unrealistic. Once you get used to the accent she is a good prof. She explains things and makes class interesting. Maybe focuses too much on experiments and studies conducted. Midterms are easy.

"colleges won't accept me just because they don't want me to study uselss crap lthis" umm...what???

I am no longer at this university, but her class is the only one that I still remember concepts from due to the experimental references. VERY organized, informative lectures with interesting examples.

hot teacher. my new crush... good examples... straight forward lectures... not TOO inundative,but she gets her own ideas across

good stuff

She makes this class very interesting. She talks about a lot of cool studies and differences between cultures. This is a pretty general psych course that everyone should take for some background. We watch cool videos too (like the world's best commercials). She provides an AMAZING exam review the lecture before the exam. Exams are all multiple choi

She is an amazing professor. She lectures very well and her class was very intresting. Most people came to class because she is such a good prof.

Wonderful prof...her presentation skills are great,and she's pretty funny in class. Exams were a little tough (I thought) but overall she's the best prof i've had.

AMAZING prof. Everyone should take. Made lectures really fun. Kinda hard midterms, but that's Saba for ya. Amazing.

Great lecturer. Exams were not that hard. Go to class (especially the exam review sessions, which are fantastic) and read the textbook because she tests on both.

she's a great prof, and straightforward exam just lots of material

I liked her as a teacher she was easy going but didn't take crap. She was also understanding with clicker malfunctions (because they are crap). Oh yea.. HOT

makes class soo interesting. Asks for opinions and participation. shows interesting/helpful videos. Multiple choice tests. Go to class and read the text and you'll do fine!

Such a great prof, extremely interesting, extremely hot. Just read the textbook and you'll do great.

Best prof I've had so far, also VERY easy to look at!!! She takes pride in her students outside of class. :)

GREAT teacher, she made her lectures so much fun to go to,theyre interesting/educational/worth going to.her midterms and finals are fair. and lastly but most importantly, shes probably the best looking teacher ive had in 3 years!!

i love her and i don't care what anyone says. she's awesome.

too hot to concentrate;) khelya maqubool!!!

Amazing teacher. Makes the course interesting and fun, and isn't on a mission to fail students. People who complain about her accent obviously aren't in computer science... Oh, and she's smokin!

Great Prof!!! Makes social psychology fun!

A-mazing...

Amazing prof. She always kept class interesting!

Awesome prof, funny and easy to listen to!

A fantastic professor and class ! She's very good at making the class engaging and the content was very interesting for Social Psych.

Loved her!!

Saba kept class interesting by engaging the class. She was available for help whenever you needed, and the multiple assignments made it easy to get a good grade.

Took this class because I needed it as a prereq for Psyc of Law. I absolutely love Safdar! She is amazing, I never missed a class. Engages with students and makes lectures fun! iClickers were used for 15% of final mark. Midterms relatively easy- and NO PAPER! Definitely recommend taking her class! Textbook isn't bad to read either!

Saba is an AMAZING professor- in fact, just the kind I was HOPING I would find when I started University! I don't understand the problem re: people commenting they couldn't understand her. Me (& my friends) had ZERO problems, so I have to assume that these people are either IDIOTS, or perhaps looking for something ELSE to blame for a poor grade!

She is an extremely hard grader! She marks hard and tests hard. If you're taking this course with her, expect to give all you've got. The course is very interesting, and Safdar may be a nice teacher, but this online course is HARD.

in class quizzes are bonus - she literally gives you marks. read the textbook because she loves multiple choice for midterms and exams

The exams for this course are based on 50% of lecture and 50% textbook material and are quite straight-forward. If you pay attention in class and read everything in the textbook you should do well.

In class and online quizzes are easy 100s to bump up your mark.

I LOVED this professor. She gave you many opportunities to boost your mark, whether it was in class clicker questions or super easy online quizzes. Very personable and hilarious as well. The midterms were not as easy but pretty fair as well. I would definitely take a class with her again!

Best. Prof. Hands down.

Great prof, really interesting to listen to, but she's tough with testing. If you write a scantron exam thinking you've got an 80 or 90, you'll probably get a 70.

Safdar is probably the most engaging professor I've ever had. Social Psych is probably the most difficult arts psych class you'll take because she does test on detail and her tests are long. If you put the work in, you'll do fine and her lectures are exemplary. I looked forward to her lectures, and she gets the class involved (and it's not cheesy!)

Overall one of the better profs I've had. Interesting to listen to and makes lectures go by quickly. She co-wrote the textbook so it goes well with the lecture material, but you really have to read and attend lectures if you want a chance on the midterm or final, since the questions are super specific.

I enjoyed her lectures, which was good because you have to go to them since there's iClicker quizzes. I found the midterm to be pretty tough. I did a lot of studying for it but only got a 70. She said the class average was a 61 - seems a bit low to me? Same deal for the final exam. The discussions and quizzes are easy and bump up your mark.

As a lecturer she is great, but she makes you spend big bucks for the course. There is a lot of reading and participation, and you will not do well on the exams unless you prepare well in advance.

Everything about the lecture contents and grading criterion are clearly stated. She has really interesting classes and a unique way of lecturing, I have always remembered what she told in class. Yes, you have to do the readings to ace the class because the exams are 50/50 lecture material and text. Nothing unusually expected from a student.

Like most students, I took PSYCH 2310 DE course because I expected it to be easier than an in class course. It was not but I learnt a great deal. I ended up working harder than expected. I found the set up of the course to be engaging with clear instruction. I saw the TAs and the Prof once only during the exam and they seemed reasonable enough.

Safdar is stylish, gorgeous, fun, passionate, and unique. Her lectures are interesting, full and challenging. Her midterm was moderately difficult but fair.

Absolutely hilarious and her lectures are genuinely a fun time! Annoying because she makes you spend money on many things just to be able to pass the course, and there is A LOT of reading involved. Generally an interesting class but would not take her again just because of all the money/work you have to do just to pass

Honestly, she was a pretty great prof. The exam's were IF--AT which was great (if you don't know what that is, it's a scratch card thing that gives you a star if you get the right answer and you have three chances to find it or get a zero -- second scratch you get .5 and third, you get .25. I liked it.

Professor Safdar is amazing! Her course is very organized, as well as her lectures. IClicker questions so attendance is mandatory, but her class is very interesting and she is very engaging so you wont mind! Exams were extremely fair and assignments were as well. I would definately take her courses in the future!

Amazing prof, really engages with the class by preparing in class activities. If you show up and complete the in class quizzes they're very easy and will boost your grade. Fair midterm and final

Awesome Lectures, very interesting material and a sense of humour. She made class fun and interesting by implementing surprise tasks to start off some of the lectures as well as here lecture slides are easy to follow. Overall great prof, who delivers her lectures effectively.

Although this course is definitely one that you really have to work hard in, Professor Safdar always has a smile on her face during lecture. She is always willing to help. There are quizzes every class which help boost your grade. She makes lectures fun, interesting and, certainly something you will remember.

Safdar is amazing! She's friendly, gives amazing lectures, sometimes with interesting and surprising twists to help you understand the topics. She really loves teaching this class and is overall a happy, genuine and awesome person/professor. Both midterm and exams were fair, but read your text because the exams are 1/2 lecture and 1/2 textbook.

Professor Safdar is seriously my favourite professor of all time. She makes her lectures so engaging and really strives to make sure we understand the content. She is a very fair marker and the work load is not heavy. She has a quiz every class based on lecture material but she is such a good professor that I would have gone regardless.

Prof Safdar is an amazing instructor. Her lectures were always entertaining. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. She cares deeply about her students and wants them to succeed. The midterm/exam questions often had details from the textbook which was sometimes difficult but the textbook was interesting so not a big deal!

Amazing class followed by an amazing instructor! Lectures were always interesting and engaging. iClicker questions were easy as the material being tested was presented in the slide directly before the question. Used a scratch card for the midterm and final allowing multiple chances to receive a point for questions.

very focused on specific study results

Prof. Safdar and the TAs were very helpful. In fact, Safdar responded to all my emails within a few hours I sent them! :) The course was clear and the assignments were engaging and some of them even fun.

While Safdar was not involved the course was very fair. The textbook work was manageable and the quizzes force you to engage in the course. 40% of the grade was discussion posts (helps engage in the content and was fun! - easy 90% @ 40% of grade). I wouldn't listen to anything under a rating of 3, one of the better classes I've taken.

PSYC 2310 was a DE course but it was engaging and well-structured. The Zoom classes were vey helpful and interactive with the professor.

The course is well-structured, Prof. Safdar is very knowledgable, and the TAs are helpful. I learn more than I expected in this course.

Professor Safdar is very passionate about her work and is very reasonable with her assessments. Great professor and great class.

Loved it. Readings were interesting, applicable to the real world. Two chapters, two quizzes (4 questions each), one discussion post, and two replies a week. Very manageable, the quizzes were open book and exact/similar questions were on the midterm. Pay attention to the experiments in the textbook which will provide you w a better understanding

I found her very engaging and learning was easy for me personally, if you show up to class then you will do fine in this course. The online quizzes were very simple, the discussion posts are worth 45%, so the slow buildup of your grade made it easy to get a decent grade. The midterm was rather difficult for me but still did well overall.

Safdar's lectures were quite engaging as she took the time to elaborate on each lecture topic, instead of just reading off of slides. Textbook readings could be content-heavy, but not too difficult to understand. Discussion activities on courselink count towards 45% of your final grade, so be sure to do them for an easy boost to your grade.

I get why people are saying it is a hard class - you do need to study a lot. But don't be discouraged.. I loved the class and our prof and I'm going into the final exam with a 98. Just study for the exams as much as you can and go to class every day

Overall very interesting class with an enthusiastic prof. However this class requires quite a bit of effort. While the content is easy there is a lot of reading and attendance is mandatory if u want to do well because in class stuff is tested heavily and there are in class quizzes. I recommend not to take as a bird course unless you enjoy psych.

I LOVED having Saba as my professor for Cross-Cultural Psych, she is extremely knowledgable on the content and encourages open debate in class. She has given me so many reasons to respect her on another level. I normally am not one to enjoy mandatory in class participation but her in-class quizzes actually helped me learn the content. I love her.

Prof Safdar's lectures are engaging, but the class requires a lot of effort. Readings are key, as are attendance and discussion activities. unstuck AI can help with study prep, but be ready to put in the work.

Class isn't hard per se just requires a lot of effort. Weekly discussion posts are worth 45% of grade so not a bird course. Stuff mentioned in lecture isn't in the textbook but is tested on so going is mandatory and she does graded in class questions. Lectures are interesting and engaging. You can tell she is passionate about what she teaches.

This prof had the most interesting lectures for social psych and it was the first time i was actually interested in a lecture. Her midterms were too hard if you studied and the weekly discussion posts werent too hard either. Also her outfits were so good everyday.

Safdar was really great! She explains concepts very well (and always had a fire fit on lol) I never wanted to skip a lecture because they were so engaging. Class attendance is mandatory for iclicker and reading the textbook is pretty important for the exams, but it doesn't feel too bad when the class is this interesting. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Sometimes unnecessary points are deducted but the course is easy

People are so dramatic on here. I'm in fourth year and have taken many psych courses; she is definitely not a bad prof at all. The weekly assignments can be a bit annoying, but the course content is not challenging and the midterm isn't hard if you study. Don't trust the people on here - she's not nearly as bad as they make her seem.

Safdar was not as bad as people made her out to be. She outlined a lot of great points, studies, and examples throughout her lectures. The course was very organized, TAs were helpful, and the rubrics were clear on assignment instructions. The material was very insightful and a lot can be applied to everyday life behaviours and ways of thinking.

Absolutely incredible lectures, with so many opportunities to raise your grades. Quizzes and discussions are easy marks. My only complaint would be with her overreliance on AI grading. Safdar is not dismissive unless students are unengaged, close-minded, or ask questions that are answered in the course outline. Her class requires passionate effort.
